Jeep Twitter account hacked

The day after hackers took over Burger King’s Twitter account, the same thing has happened to the account of Jeep. Around noon ET, hackers climbed aboard @Jeep, changed the logo to that of Cadillac, and started tweeting. And it appears hackers have also overrun@MTVfaked a Twitter hack as part of a PR stunt. That didn't go over so well in the Twittersphere. This tweet sums up the reaction to @MTV (viewer discretion advised):

By 3 p.m. ET, the @Jeep account had been restored and the offending tweets deleted. Hours into Burger King’s Twitter hack—which closely resembled the Jeep breach—Twitter pulled the plug on the account, which hackers had made to look like McDonald’s. Burger King issued an apology for the Twitter confusion on Monday and regained control of the account later in the evening.
